DMPQ: What is hydroponics? What are its advantages? (Science)What is hydroponics? What are its advantages? (Science)

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.With hydroponics the plants are grown in an inert growing medium and a perfectly balanced, pH adjusted nutrient solution is delivered to the roots in a highly soluble form. Advantages of hydroponics: No soil is … Read more DMPQ: What is hydroponics? What are its advantages? (Science)What is hydroponics? What are its advantages? (Science)

Give an account of following: a) Male and female reproductive organs b) Asexual production c) Binary fission d) Fertilisation

  (a)Male and Female reproductive organ:    The male reproductive organs include a pair of testes (singular, testis), two sperm ducts and a penis. The testes produce the male gametes called sperms. The female reproductive organs are a pair of ovaries, oviducts (fallopian tubes) and the uterus. Ovary produces female gametes called ova (eggs).   (b)Asexual production:  It is a … Read more Give an account of following: a) Male and female reproductive organs b) Asexual production c) Binary fission d) Fertilisation

DMPQ- Mention the various applications of Polystyrene.

Polystyrene in Appliances Refrigerators, air conditioners, ovens, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, blenders – these and other appliances often are made with polystyrene (solid and foam) because it is inert (doesn’t react with other materials), cost-effective and long-lasting.     Polystyrene in Automotive Polystyrene (solid and foam) is used to make many car parts, including knobs, instrument … Read more DMPQ- Mention the various applications of Polystyrene.

DMPQ- Recently RNA interference was in the news, what do you understand by the term RNAi and write down its application?

The term RNA interference (RNAi) was coined to describe a cellular mechanism that uses the gene’s own DNA sequence of the gene to turn it off, a process that researchers call silencing. In a wide variety of organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi, RNAi is triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). During RNAi, long dsRNA is … Read more DMPQ- Recently RNA interference was in the news, what do you understand by the term RNAi and write down its application?
